It’s not a secret that during an interview, you might be asked unusual questions along with the standard ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. How many yellow cars are there in London\/Prague\/Madrid?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. How old is a person born in 1925?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Why is a manhole cover round?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. What is the biggest problem facing humanity, and how would you solve it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s look at question 3 as an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 First, you need to check if the person is still alive. If not, his age is fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 If he is alive, find out his birth month and date. This will determine whether he has already celebrated his 100th birthday or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 The timezone matters too – maybe his birthday hasn\u2019t arrived yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Even his birth time could be important since he might not officially be 100 for a few more hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These kinds of questions help employers see whether a candidate is suitable for a particular position, how he can think, adapt, and communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In any case, a job applicant should stay calm, demonstrate logical thinking, explain his reasoning clearly and try to convince the employer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
